[agent\_craft] Massive test suite stdout fills context window pushing out actual errors

Truncate or summarize tool outputs on the tool/server side before returning to the LLM. For test runners, only return failed tests and the immediate stack trace. For linters, group similar warnings and return a count rather than every instance.

Journey Context:
LLMs are easily distracted by large volumes of irrelevant text. If a test runner outputs 500 lines of passing tests and 10 lines of failures, the LLM might conclude 'tests are passing' or get confused. Pre-processing tool outputs ensures the signal-to-noise ratio of the context remains high. The tradeoff is losing the ability to ask the LLM about the passing tests, but that is rarely necessary.
